Meet the coaches

The people who’ll get you there

Our coaches have earned the skills they teach — the muscle-ups, the planches, the freestanding handstands — and they’re trained to coach them safely, scaling every session to exactly where you are.

Daryl Sim, Head Coach & Founder at Groundwork Athletics

Daryl Sim

Head Coach & Founder

Started Groundwork after teaching himself the muscle-up the hard way and realising how much faster it would have been with real coaching. Earned his planche in his thirties to prove the skills aren’t just for the young. Still coaches the Foundations classes himself.

Hui Wen Tan, Handbalance & Skills Lead at Groundwork Athletics

Hui Wen Tan

Handbalance & Skills Lead

A former competitive gymnast who fell in love with adult calisthenics. The coach everyone wants for their first freestanding handstand — patient, precise, and obsessed with a clean line.

Arif Rahman, Strength & Statics Coach at Groundwork Athletics

Arif Rahman

Strength & Statics Coach

Owns the front lever and a deep straddle planche, and programmes the Advanced track. Famous for explaining the boring connective-tissue work in a way that finally makes you do it.

Why train here

What makes Groundwork different

A real progression, not a class to survive

Most fitness classes just tire you out. Ours move you along a named skill path with milestones you can measure — so every session has a point.

Coaches who actually have the skills

Our coaches own the muscle-ups, planches and handstands they teach, and they’re trained to coach them safely — not just demo them.

Genuinely beginner-friendly

Can’t do a pull-up? Perfect — that’s exactly who Foundations is for. We meet you where you are, with zero ego in the room.

Indoors and out, across the island

Train on rings and matted floors at our Paya Lebar studio, or on the bars at East Coast Park. One membership covers both.

For families too

Junior Groundwork channels everything kids love — climbing, swinging, balancing — into coached strength and confidence.

Trained to keep you healthy

Wrist, shoulder and tendon conditioning is built into the programming, because the goal is decades of training, not a fortnight of hype.
